HP drabble: A Question of Trust [Draco/Harry, general]
Title: A Question of Trust Author: celandineb Fandom: HP Pairing: Draco/Harry Rating: general Length: 200 words (double drabble) Summary: From enmity to trust, Harry and Draco have come a long way. Note: For kabal42 at the request of ragdoll, who suggested Harry/Draco, "trust". The title is pinched from the lyrics of the Depeche Mode song "A Question of Lust".
The blindfold was snug over Harry's eyes, his shoulders tense under the guiding arm.
"Steps here," Draco's voice murmured, and counted aloud to fifteen. "That's the end. I'm going to spin you around again now."
Harry let himself be turned until he was nearly dizzy. "How much farther?" he asked.
"Not too much," said Draco, beginning to lead Harry once more. "Don't worry; I won't let you fall."
Five more minutes of twists and turns, and Harry heard Draco knock. He was led inside, the blindfold pulled off, and he gaped in surprise.
"Surprise! Surprise! Happy birthday!" Everyone in the room seemed to call out at once. All of his friends and Draco's were there, smiling, reaching out to hug Harry, or pat his back, or shake his hand.
Harry looked at Draco, who gave an enormous grin. "Happy birthday, Harry. Enjoy your party."
"I will," Harry promised, brushing Draco's cheek with a swift kiss. What made his eyes shine with happiness, however, was not the affection of all their friends, nor even the thoughtfulness Draco had shown in arranging the party for him, but the fact that after all their past history, he trusted Draco to lead him true.
